Check out the new HTML 5 map tutorials from deCarta!

Have you seen the new deCarta Mobile JavaScript (HTML5) API tutorials we have on NN4D.com? Yes, we said Mobile JavaScript, as it has now become possible to create complex web applications dedicated to the mobile web.

In other words, you can now create a web-based map that runs on pretty much any smartphone!

Not only is it cool that the HTML 5 map runs on most mobile platforms. (i.e. iPhone and Android) but it is also cool because it means you can use your web developers javascript skillz to create a mobile LBS app. That means no C++ is needed and no re-writing your app for each phone platform! Pretty neat, eh?

So, what kind of tutorials do we have anyway?

Well, right now, we have 3, but boy are they good ones! We of course have the obligatory “Getting Started” tutorial that walks you through the basic application and provides sample code to get you up and running quicker than you can say Javascript.

When you have mastered that, you will want to go on to check out “Using HTML5 Geolocation API” which lets you share your geographic location with trusted web sites. For Location based applications, this API opens the door to new innovation!

Finally, we have Using HTML5 Local Storage API which is a simple key / value storage API which allows us to persist application data cross sessions. This is definitely something you will want to learn about as you create your web-based mobile app.

You really should check out these tutorials, as deCarta provides Free registration as well as clear terms of use and pricing (No need for extreme legalese or having to talk to a sales person to get started! Woohoo!).  Also, make sure to keep checking back to the section as deCarta is going to be adding more and more tutorials in the coming weeks.

This is some good stuff, so go click this link to see it!
